International Railroad Discussion > Scrapping old GP´s in BrazilDate: 04/12/20 17:05 Scrapping old GP´s in Brazil Author: pedrop Hi, in the last days Rumo railroad started to scrap old locomotives out of service, including the only GP´s found in Brazil: Gp9 and GP18´s.
I received these pics from firends. One GP18 is in operational condition, but all the GP9 are gone. Sad news. Pedro 1- 3: The hidraulic scissors can cut everything in a few time.Note the old German LEW yard switcher.

The location is not far from where I use to go while visiting my boy in the Air Force academy, but with the lockdown here these days, we can travel to other states for while.
